For those who enjoy gourmet meals and libations closer to home, there is a catered dinner for eight hosted in the buyer’s own home, with wine and food pairing, appetizer and before-dinner cocktail, and a session of wine education highlighting each of the three wines served.
A cellar collection will offer a half case of fine collector wines, a $100 gift certificate for dinner at Le Chene for two guests, and a conservator wine preservation system. A night with Chef Jim of Marston’s will include a multi-course dinner for eight to 10 guests on a mutually-agreed-upon date in 2016 when the restaurant is closed to all but the special guests, appetizers in the chef’s kitchen with cooking demonstration, entre-through-dessert courses in the restaurant, with wine pairings.
A spa romance package will include a self-inflating Jacuzzi, two bottles of champagne or sparkling wine, his and hers plush spa robes, and a spa package of treatments and massages from Balance Point Spa.
A hot air balloon ride package will include a one-night stay at the Inn at South Coast Winery (Sunday through Thursday), private wine and cheese tasting, pastries, coffee and champagne at dawn before the early morning balloon flight, and a $50 voucher toward a gourmet breakfast at the South Coast Winery Restaurant.

The evening will include a champagne reception and hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m., followed by dinner, the live auction and tribute. Event co-chairs Adele Macpherson and Lois Bauccio are working with a video team to create an after-dinner tribute to influential women across the ages—starting with Eve! Keyes Automotive is a platinum sponsor of this year’s Tribute.
The annual tribute dinner is Zonta’s chief fundraiser, supporting local and global programs to improve the lives of women and girls. For the past several years, the event has been formatted to salute successful women serving leadership roles in the local community. This year’s Tribute honors Elizabeth Hopp, executive vice president and chief banking officer with the Bank of Santa Clarita.
Table reservations are closed, but some individual seats may still be ordered for $125 each on a space-available basis. Reservations or further information are available by calling the Zonta message line at (661) 252-9351 or clicking on the Tribute page at Zonta’s website, www.scvzonta.org.
